Best charter we’ve been on by far! Gene did a great job getting us on the fish and providing a first class experience. His Senator 770 is easily the most well equipped boat in the area. Book a trip, you won’t regret it!

Thank you Whitangler for an unforgettable day out on the water! From start to finish, the experience was first class — great communication, expert local knowledge, and an awesome crew who clearly love what they do. We hooked into some serious action and landed both the kingy and snapper, which made the day even more memorable. The boat was spotless and well-equipped, and the team went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time, no matter their level of experience. If you’re looking for an adventure filled with excitement, good company, and incredible fishing, Whitangler is the one to book. Can’t wait to get back out there again soon!

Gene was an absolute legend! Picked me up and set off out to catch my first Kingy. Was quite apparent that he knew what to do and where to go straight away! His Senator boat was well equipped and furnished for the best day fishing ive ever had. Landed my King fish and then added to the bag with a selection of tasty reef fish including snapper and pink mau mau. Relentlessly worked the spots to ensure best possible chance for a hook up. The atmosphere was relaxed and exciting all in one. I would strongly recommend that you book in and get out there!! Cheers Gene!!

I’ve never caught a kingfish so as a novice, I found Gene , Our guide, very professional and friendly but also a fantastic coach when someone is doing something for the first time. We had a fantastic day full of humour and of course, with Gene’s guidance, so many fish we had to throw them back because of the volume, really keen to go again!
